is it too early to make the florals for spring joke
ALSO INSIDE: new fabulous collections from Dynamite and Lioness, resources to shop small + women-owned, and more
Did I say I wasn’t going to write a newsletter this week? I did! But has literally everything not gone to plan recently? Also yes… but at least this is a very fun adjustment! I don’t like the weeks that I don’t get to gab with y’all.
I fear this week was an exceptional one on Vestiaire Collective for me – I will not be mad if you want to scroll right to the thrift section!
And I also had to make sure that everyone was aware of the Abercrombie spring sale!! 15-30% off, as we know, is a bit higher than they usually do for a sale, so this is very exciting. Here are some of my picks from the sale (made on Zeen ofc).
Some stand-outs for me:
I am absolutely loving that brown linen vest situation ($35), I think I have no choice but to snag.
That vegan suede white tote bag ($68) in this, one of suede’s biggest years in recent memory… need I say more.
I fear this is trad-wifey of me (but also mad that that’s even a concern of mine because we should be free to wear whatever we want!!) but I really like the denim button-up dress ($63) too…
Dropping my full list right here, and I will probably keep adding to it over the weekend!
ONE MORE THING: I am actually not buying anything and partaking (as much as I possibly can) in the economic blackout today – so definitely feel free to save this one for later if you are too. In keeping with the mission of the blackout today, though, I did want to share this list of women-owned products/businesses and this list of merch where all the proceeds go directly to a good cause. Because where we put our dollars counts!
And now, onto more good stuff…
B.N.W.T.
1. Simona Scoop Maxi Dress from Dynamite, $70
Ok, wow, so I was completely sleeping on Dynamite and their new “On Core” collection…
2. Shirred Flyaway Shirt from Dynamite, $60
Like hello??? Love the structure here.
3. Logo Tote Bag from Gap, $39 (sale – 30% more off with code GREAT)
I 100% understand this might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I really, really like it! Zac Posen, the branding genius you are…
4. Shadow Side Square Sunglasses from Free People, $25
These feel like the sunglasses version of the chunky blue light glasses trend of 2024!
5. Cherry Cola Lighter by Canna Style, $25
Had to include because if someone whipped this out at a party, I would want to be their friend IMMEDIATELY.
Get Thrifty
1. Acne Studios Mini Short from Vestiaire Collective, Size 6 (38 EU), $51
Guys, idk what happened to me, I am just so in on the micro shorts trend all of a sudden.
2. Sporty & Rich Sweatshirt from Vestiaire Collective, Size L, $74
Because sweater season isn’t over yet, and it may as well go out in a Sporty & Rich sweatshirt for under $100!
3. Kenzo Tigre Espadrilles from Vestiaire Collective, Size 6.5 (37 EU), $80
I predict bright sneakers ain’t going anywhere this summer…
4. & Other Stories Sheer Shirt from Vestiaire Collective, Size S, $40
You all know how I feel about a sheer shirt AND & Other Stories <3
5. Ralph Lauren Button Down Shirt from Vestiaire Collective, Size L, $37
Do y’all see the St. Patty’s Day vision here…
Shop Small 4 Ever
1. Bean Necklace from House of Niza, $50
I think this is a cool riff off of the Heaven Mayhem Julia necklace that isn’t just a copy-paste – and it comes in gold, too.
2. Multi Stone Sterling Silver Handmade Ring from Annoushe Jewelry, $86
Yep, still a total sucker for an irregular gem stone pattern!
3. Tiny Snack Bowl from Relish, $11
I just realized I think this is meant for babies… but oh well, I would still 1000% use lol
4. Mini Pool Table Ring Dish from A Simple Knead, $74
This ring dish has no business being this damn cute.
4. License Plate Frame from Gifts And Vibes, $22
Unfortunately, I laughed all the way out loud at this one.
